The Foo Fighters have unveiled the initial dates in the band’s full North American tour behind Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, the outfit’s sixth album to date, which hit store shelves September 25.

Exercising their eco-friendly muscle on tour, Foo Fighters have come to the aid of TreeBank, an online donation system dedicated to urban forest tree planting, by placing a limited quantity of premium tickets up for auction via Ticketmaster.com. The auction’s proceeds will then go to local “branches,” planting trees in every community along the Foo Fighters’ tour.

Tour dates:

1/23 – Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center
1/25 – Memphis, TN – FedEx Forum
1/26 – Nashville, TN – Nashville Municipal Auditorium
2/18 – Worcester, MA – DCU Center
2/21 – Philadelphia, PA – Wachovia Spectrum
2/24 – Detroit, MI – Joe Louis Arena
